Losing your whistle

[LobsterJohnson]

What happens if you lose your whistle completely?Are you just not able to flag stuff anymore?

By "losing" you mean, if you get a garbage whistle? You still can flag submissions and reviews, but it doesn't have any effect (as in: no mod is going to be notified if you flag something).
However, you can regain normal whistle power if you flag stuff that is also flagged by people with a working whistle. If the stuff then gets deleted you also get positive whistle points.

Ah right,I thought you could lose it completely.Thanks.

No, your whistle power is just a 0, which means anything you flag will not be effected. However, you can dig youself out of your hole by correctly flagging reviews/movies, but it will need enough flags before it's deleted. Since you have 0 flagging power, it will require others to also flag what you have marked before it can be deleted. It's kinda tricky, but possible to get yourself back to normal, and possibly ascend beyond that. However, there's no way of knowing how deep you've dug yourself into garbage. So, be sure to only flag what you KNOW is abusive from now on.

Also, take that image off your profile, don't post stuff like that. Either you can do it, or Wade can do it for you ;)

When you act like that, I swear, just turns me on.

By the way, I noticed you were confused on how to delete news posts. Go to My Account and go down to Manage Posts and you can delete them from there ;)
